Default Paint Type Question

"Robert11" wrote in message
. ..

Live in New England.
Just had the house re-sided with the typical Cedar horizontal Clapboards.
. . .
Anyway, two of them said that I absolutely don't want Latex Paint, as it
will probably peel in a few years, and that what "most folks" are now

using
is: "100% Acrylic Latex Stain (& Wood Protector)"
I never heard of this product.


Go to a reputable paint store and ask the difference between
paint and stain (and between pigmented and non-pigmented stain.)

When working with genuine cedar boards, reputable siding craftsmen
use (if anything) only stain, never paint.
